“This month, I have had the pleasure of teaching Peace Painting as a section of Lending a Creative Hand project at ¡CityArts! on Broad Street.  After visiting the Institute for the Study and Practice of Nonviolence, the peace painters created work that defined their unique visions of peace and community. They worked in groups, led each other, and coordinated their own murals that will be hung in the Institute to inspire their peers to choose peace.”

“After a lot of practice learning guitar, many of my students were thrilled to receive their very own guitars as Christmas gifts. Returning to school after break, they brought with them a greater enthusiasm to study the instrument.
